What Is Colossus?
Colossus is a solo adventure TTRPG set in a post-apocalyptic
world. You play as a Scout, someone who is capable of Mira-
cles and feats of badassery. Your job is to protect the denizens
of the Spire, the land in which the game is set. Along the way
you will acquire quests, make friends and even lovers, re-
ceive incredible gear and weapons, and chronicle an amazing
journey. You will play through days in the lives of these
Scouts as they fight off raiders, mutated animals, and even a
few cryptids. You will complete missions for your masters,
the heads of the science company Lotus Inc. You might even
find a beast companion along the way.
7
What Do I Need To Play?
To play, I recommend two notebooks if you’re like me and
you like to write everything down. One notebook is for chron-
icling the story. The second notebook is for detailing combat
and keeping track of notes.
You also need character sheets for your Main Character and
whichever Scouts you are currently adventuring with. A word
of warning: There are a total of 25 Scouts in this game, count-
ing your Main Character. Only print as needed, no need to
print all 25 character sheets out at once. You could also just
keep track of your characters’ stats and equipment and abili-
ties using Google Docs or loose-leaf paper.
You’ll need a full set of dice. You’ll use every dice that comes
with the standard set in this game. That means you'll need a
d4, a d6, a d8, two d10s, a d12, and a d20. It might be best to
have at least four d6’s for when you roll Ability Dice.
You’ll need these core rules to keep track of the rules and ene-
mies you’ll face and items you’ll find, as well as to use all of
the tables inside.

The World Of Colossus
Long ago, the world as we knew it was destroyed in a battle be-
tween the humans of earth and the Yaun, reptilian aliens bent on
dominating every planet they discovered. The humans used a
toxic liquid known as miasma to kill all of the Yaun, but at a
cost. The world ended. But then it was reborn. Now, in this post
-apocalyptic land known as the Spire, Scouts protect the weak.
They are the few who survived being dipped in the mysterious
waters of miasma and gained supernatural powers. They use
these powers as they patrol the wastes of the new world.
Left over from the Great War are robots, Androids, and cyborgs
who still roam the wastes of the new world or, more likely, can
be found hiding in the darkest corners of ruins. A few even
work as Scouts. Also roaming the wastes are mutated animals,
raiders, bandits, feral mutants, and even a few cryptids.
9
There are thirteen classes for Scouts. There are two Scouts for
each class. The Main Character (that’s you!) plays as the thir-
teenth class, the Jack, as in Jack-of-all trades. Unlike the other
classes, the Jack isn’t bound to the four skills of a specific class
and can pick any skill from any class when they level up.
As for the other classes, they pick from the four skills that are
given to them up to level five, and that is when the customiza-
tion really begins and you can start picking any skills for that
character from any of the other classes.
The Spire is divided into the North Spire and the South Spire by
the Moare Highlands. North Spire has more dangerous terrain
and is full of mysterious locations and ruins. South Spire is
more civilized with grasslands and forests, but still just as dan-
gerous with raiders and bandits and mutated creatures. To the
northeast are the Strange Lands, where the Psychic Elves live.
To the southeast is an island called Chesris Island, where a colo-
ny has been established to explore the new territory.
10
Who are Scouts, exactly? Scouts are Chosen, or survivors who
were plunged into the miasma as children and survived. Most
Chosen become Scouts, although others use their power over
Miracles for more selfish reasons. Others become Keepers,
scholars who study the effects of miasma and the mystery of
Miracles. Usually when or if a Scout retires, he or she joins the
Keeper’s organization. Most Scouts don’t retire, though. The
wasteland is a harsh place. Many die in battle.
What are the character classes? Other than the Jack, which only
the main character is, there are twelve other classes. They are:
Red Rivers Native, Child of the Brier, Nymph, Psychic Elf,
Cyborg, Survivor, Medic, Mutant, Gunner, Blade, Bard, and
Android.
Red Rivers Natives are natural denizens of the Red Rivers ter-
ritory going back hundreds of years. They reject most technol-
ogy and fight with bows and machetes. They are highly con-
nected to nature and easily make companions out of animals
and explore rough terrain.
Children of the Brier are from the Brier in South Spire. They
are a mystical race of people who are connected to the wilder-
ness on a supernatural level. They don’t use any technology
(unless they are Scouts) and fight with staffs and clubs.
11
Psychic Elves are from the Strange Lands and are experts in us-
ing Miracles. They use staffs to fight with which gives them an
extra Ability Dice. Psychic Elves mate for life and always trav-
el together.
Cyborgs are half man, half machine. They use their powerful
gun arms to attack multiple enemies at once and fight with ei-
ther machetes or pistols.
Medics are healers who fight with daggers. They are experts at
rationing their supplies and delivering critical strikes.
Bards are singers and dancers who enchant those around them,
friend or foe. They attack with whips and flails.
12
Then of course there’s the Jack, which as I mentioned, can be
anything and have any skills and wield any weapons.
Note: Only Mutants and the Jack can attack twice in one round
if unarmed. The other classes can only attack once in one round
if unarmed.
13
Creating Characters
You’ll start out picking your first skill. Then, you will random-
ly roll your Stats and HP. After that, you will choose your first
Miracle. Every character gets to pick a Miracle at the begin-
ning of the game. Any subsequent Miracles you learn will be
from scrolls when safe in civilization. Finally, you will be giv-
en your starting weapon, armor, items, and credits. What are
credits? Credits are the currency of the Spire.
14
Skills
Choose your first skill. You don’t have to go in order. Make a
mental note of which skills use Ability Dice, which will be ex-
plained later on. You can tell which skills use Ability Dice be-
cause they have (DICE) and/or (SUM) in the description.

You have three Stats in this game. Roll 4d4 for each Stat. You

brawn (Moving a heavy boulder out of the way, Attacking with
a sword, Breaking down a door, etc.)
Dexterity: Use to dodge and attack with ranged weapons
(Attacking with a Pistol, Avoiding a trap, Leaping across a
chasm, etc.)
Wits: Use for combat order and charisma and knowledge
(Convincing someone to get what you want, Answering a rid-
dle, Seeing an enemy before they see you, etc.)
Hit Points
Your Hit Points, or HP, are a measure of your vitality. To figure
out your starting HP, roll d4+4.
20
Armor
Your Armor is a measurement of the amount of protection what-
ever armor or shield you're wearing is currently giving you. If
you have 2 Armor and get hit for 4, you only take 2 HP damage.
If you have 2 Armor and get hit for 2, the attack bounces off of
you. Most enemies also have Armor. Keep this in mind when
you're measuring damage!
21
10 Whip: d6 damage, has a 3 in 6 chance of Binding enemies
for a round when an attack is successful (1-3 yes, 4-6 no); Used
by Jacks and Bards
11 Pistol: d8 damage, requires bullets; Used by Jacks, Gunners,
and Cyborgs
12 Spear: d8 damage, can be thrown for double damage, must
spend a round retrieving it; Used by Jacks and Nymphs
Starting Off
Each Scout, including the Main Character, starts out with a
weapon appropriate to their class, a Healing Tonic, 20 Arrows or
12 Bullets if the character has a bow or a pistol, and a random
Miracle scroll. They may use the scroll before the game begins
to find out their first Miracle. They start out with 3d6 credits.
They may also start out with a shield if they are a Jack, Android,
or Survivor, and may choose between Leather Armor and Metal
Armor if they wish to wear armor. No armor gives you a +1 to
your Dexterity while you are not wearing armor.
22
Playing The Game
How To Play
Now that you have your Main Character generated, let’s start
playing Colossus! To start with, when you attempt any action
that is uncertain or has a consequence of failure, roll the appro-
priate Stat. You roll with a d20, the goal being to roll your Stat
or lower. This is called a test, or a check.
Advantage/Disadvantage
If you are ambushing an enemy because they are distracted or
you have some other helpful boon, you roll your test with ad-
vantage. This means you roll 2d20 and take the lower roll. If
you are rolling with disadvantage because you are the one am-
bushed, you roll 2d20 and take the higher roll.
Ability Dice
When you wish to use a skill or a Miracle, you may use your
Ability Dice. You gain one Ability Dice per level, so at level one
you start with one Ability Dice. An Ability Dice is a d6. Once
you gain more, you can choose how many Ability Dice to use
when you cast a Miracle or skill. However, the more dice you
use, the more likely you are to lose dice.
You lose dice by rolling a 4-6 on your Ability Dice. If you roll a
1-3, you get to keep your dice to use again. If you lose your
dice, you have to wait until you have a rest in civilization to get
them back.
23
For example, say you’re fighting a giant spider and want to cast
Fireball at it. You are level three so you have three Ability Dice
total, but you decide to only roll two Ability Dice. You roll a 3
and a 5. You get to keep the 3 for further use but lose the 5 until
you rest at home or an inn. The attack deals damage based on
the SUM of your dice, so you hit the giant spider for 8 HP. Note:
Miracles and skills that use Ability Dice ignore Armor.
Status Effects
Most status effects are permanent until the character uses the ap-
propriate item or potion or has a nice long rest at an inn for a
night. Bind and Drowsy are the only ones that are not permanent
and usually only last one round of combat.
Poisoned: d4 damage each round of the afflicted’s turn
Frail: Disadvantage on tests of Strength
Dizzy: Disadvantage on tests of Dexterity
Confused: Disadvantage on tests of Wits
Bind: Can't move this round
Blind: Disadvantage to attack rolls, regardless of whether you
use Strength or Dexterity
Gloomy: Can't cast spells or skills
Drowsy: Can't attack or offer up any action, lose turn
Bleeding: Enemies will attack only you
24
Advancement
You gain experience, or XP, from fighting enemies and com-
pleting quests. Every 20 XP gained, your Scout levels up. You
gain one XP for fighting one enemy, two XP for fighting two
enemies, three XP for fighting three or more enemies, two XP
for defeating a boss or leader, and two XP for completing a
mission or quest.
These are all only true for up to level 4. At level 5, you stop in-
creasing your Stats, HP, and Ability Dice. Instead, if you are
not the Main Character, you can start picking skills from other
classes. This really makes sure that no two characters of the
same class are alike. If you are a Jack, you continue to pick a
skill from any class you want.
Advancement beyond level 4 mostly comes from skills, special
items, and unique weapons and armor.
25
Exploration
The land of the Spire is full of interesting places to explore. Ru-
ins, villages, cities, deserts, forests, mines, desecrated locations,
and more await the Scouts of the Spire. How do you explore this
world? One day at a time.
For each day that you travel, you roll a d4 to check the weather.
Weather Table:
1 Sunny
2 Cloudy
3 Rainy
4 Stormy-Seek shelter and lose a day of travel.
After you check the weather, you roll a d12 to see if you encoun-
ter anyone or anything on the road.
Wilderness Table:
1-4 No Events or Encounters
5-9 Event Table
10-11 Enemy
12 Boss or Leader
26
If you roll a 1-4, you don’t encounter anything that day and go
right ahead to your camp activity. If you roll a 5-9, you will then
roll a d100 on the Wilderness Event Table later on in the book. If
you roll a 10-11, you will encounter up to d4 enemies on your
journey that you may fight, bargain with, or trick, whatever you
wish. Roll on that region’s encounter table to see what enemy
(ies) you’ll be facing. If you roll a 12, you encounter a tough en-
emy, usually a boss or leader, or a more challenging version of a
regular enemy with +10 HP. Defeating these will gain you 2 XP.

Camp Activities
After you roll on the Wilderness Table, you transition to that
night at camp. At camp you get to pursue one single activity:
1 You can spend time with your fellow Scouts, which will give
you +1 to friendship
2 You may go to bed early and rest and get a +1 to HP for the
next battle (does not stack)
3 You may forage for ingredients from nearby, finding d4 ingre-
dients (roll on Ingredients Table)
4 You may search for d4 Rations
5 You may sharpen or clean your weapon which will give it a +1
to attack rolls the next battle (does not stack)
6 You may go fishing if near a body of water for d6 Rations if
you have a fishing rod
7 You may create a potion using Alchemy with an empty Glass
Vial, or a random scroll if you have 100c and Divinite Paper
8 You can practice an art:
Every 20 talent points go up a level in your chosen art and your
work is worth more.
Need to work on a piece of art 5 times each before it's ready to
sell or perform. Can also give art or performance to another
character as a gift worth +3 Friendship Points.
32
Once you perform your single camp action for the night, you go
to bed. You only heal 1 HP for each day you camp and sleep
through the night successfully. You do NOT recover from Status
Effects at camp. Roll a d12 to see if any wandering enemies at-
tack during the night.
33
Spending Time With Friends
Spending time with your fellow Scouts is important. Every 10 re-
lationship points you have with someone, you go up a relation-
ship level.
Friendship happens in levels:
-5 Rival-2 out of 6 chance of them going with you (1-2 yes, 3-6
no)
-10 Enemy-1 out of 6 chance of them going with you (1 yes, 2-6
no)
-15 Archenemy-No chance of them going with you
-20 Nemesis-No chance of them going with you
Every day that you travel together nets you +1 relationship point
with that person. You can also earn an extra point by spending
time with them at camp. If you give them a gift, that nets you +3
relationship points with that person.
34
The way you get Scouts to join your party and build a relation-
ship with them is by going to the local tavern. There will always
be eight Scouts there. To see which Scouts are currently there,
you roll on this table (see next page):
35
Scouts Table:
1d4 then 1d6

3 Ivy: Nymph
4 Clover: Child of the Brier

3 Canary: Survivor
4 Rooster: Nymph

36
Vehicles
You can purchase or rent vehicles to make travel across the Spire
easier. Just remember that if you’re renting, you’re renting for
everyone in your party. For four horses, that would be 20c.
200 credits take up one inventory slot. The rest of your credits
you can keep in a bank.
38
Settlements
4 Pick up quests.
5 Practice an art.
39
Combat
Combat is common for Scouts of the Spire. It's basically their
bread and butter. They are very good at it, but not immortal.
Guarding
You can choose to guard yourself or another Scout during your
turn in a round instead of attacking. If you guard yourself and
you are attacked, you only take half damage. If you are guard-
ing someone else, you take half damage for that person.
Initiative
When a fight is about to break out, every Scout checks for Wits.
If they succeed, they attack before their enemies. Whoever fails
their Wits test attacks after the enemies.
Defending
When an enemy attacks you, roll your Scout’s Dexterity to see
if the attack lands. If it does, it attacks for whatever its damage
dice is, minus whatever your Armor is. If it misses, the round
continues and the next person or enemy tries to attack.
40
Critical Hits
When you roll a natural 1 when going to attack an enemy, you
then get to critical hit that enemy. You roll 2 dice of whatever
your damage dice is. For example if Iris rolls a natural 1 when
attacking a giant spider with a whip, then her damage would be
2d6. Critical hits ignore armor.
Fumble
If you roll a natural 20, you fumble. This can express itself in
one of four ways.
Fumble Table:
1 You drop your weapon for the next round, if this is a compan-
ion then you trip and fall and miss the next round
2 Your weapon breaks (Unless it's special then you just miss)
3 You hit yourself for d4 HP
4 You hit an ally for d4 HP (-1 to Friendship Points)
Flying Creatures
Some creatures in the Spire fly. Any flying creature lands once
half its HP is gone. When flying, they can only be hit with Mir-
acles, whips, flails, guns, or bows. You can also throw a weap-
on at them but miss the next round picking it up. You use Dex-
terity to throw a weapon.
41
Wounds
When your HP reaches 0, you receive a Wound. When you re-
ceive a Wound, there is a chance you also receive a Trauma.
Roll a d8 to see what happens. When a Scout has three Trau-
mas, that Scout quits and joins the Keepers and is no longer
available to play as or with.
Wounds Table:
1 Once healed, your max HP increases by one.
2 You're Frail for three days, after which your Strength increas-
es by 1.
3 You're Dizzy for three days, after which your Dexterity in-
creases by 1.
4 You develop a noticeable scar.
5 You're Confused for three days, after which your Wits in-
creases by 1.
6 You're Frail and Dizzy and Confused until you find a safe ha-
ven to spend the night in.
7 -5 HP to your total HP for one week. Once healed, add d4 to
your max HP.
8 Mark one point of Trauma.
42
Types Of Damage
Depending on the type of damage you are inflicting or facing,
the actual damage may be different. For example, if you are
wearing a coat that halves all fire damage and a fire slime at-
tacks you with its flame belch for 6 HP, you only lose 3 HP.
Some enemies are weaker to certain types of damage, some are
stronger, and some are immune.
Morale
Every creature has a morale score. When their health hits lower
than half, or their numbers dwindle to less than half, an enemy
may make a morale check on his, her, or its turn. If the number
is at or higher than the enemy’s morale score, that enemy flees.
If the number is lower than the enemy’s morale score, that ene-
my steels their resolve and stands and fights.
43
Miracles
Miracles are magic that Scouts are capable of. They gain these
strange powers when they are dipped in the miasma as children
and survive. You learn more Miracles by finding scrolls. You can
only use scrolls to learn new Miracles while in a city, village, or
town. Miracles, and skills, ignore an enemy’s Armor. You use
Ability Dice to use Miracles and most skills. Some items are also
imbued with the power of Miracles. We’ll look at those a little
later on.
When you receive a scroll, roll on this table to see what Miracle
is on it. You can sell a scroll for 50c. You can make a scroll if
you have Divinite Paper and 100c while in a settlement or at
camp.
Miracles Table:

19 Spider Climb: You can climb surfaces like a spider for
(SUM) minutes.
20 Whirlwind: You create a vortex of air that can deflect mis-
siles for (SUM) rounds.
Alchemy
If you are a Survivor or a Jack with the skill Alchemy, you can
perform alchemy even if you are at a campsite. Otherwise, in or-
der to make potions and grenades, you must be in a settlement.
Alchemy works by combining two or three ingredients to make a
potion or a grenade. You can forage for ingredients as a camp ac-
tivity. Sometimes you may find them as drops from monsters.
You can also sell your ingredients if you have too many. Remem-
ber you can only carry up to five of an ingredient at a time in
your ingredient pouch. The numbers beside the ingredient or po-
tion are how many credits you can sell it for. To know how much
you can buy it for, multiply the number by two.

Scouts
Iris/Sparrow: Iris or Sparrow is your main character that you
play as. His or her or their class is called a Jack, after Jack-of-all-
trades, and is the only character with this class. The background
of this character can be whatever you like to account for all of the
amazing skills you can learn. This character can be named Iris or
Sparrow to your liking and can be any gender.
Violet: Violet is a Cyborg bent on taking down Noah. She is stern
and determined but has a temper. She does not laugh very often.
She keeps her mind focused on the job at hand. It's possible she
and Noah were once lovers. That might be why she desires to
capture him so badly now that he's turned traitor.
Rose: Rose is a semi-famous Bard known for her joyous nature
and sassy dance moves. She has a bit of a rivalry with Violet and
Ivy. They trained together as children and are competitive with
each other. Rose is fun-loving and sarcastic, but knows when it's
time to jump into the fray.
Ivy: Ivy is a Nymph whose former lover was a Child of the Brier
who died on a mission. She has taken her lover's death hard and
has sworn to protect the new Clover, her lover’s daughter, from
such a fate. She has a rivalry with Rose and Violet that spans their
entire childhood. Ivy is quiet, contemplative, and always gets the
job done no matter how large or how diminutive the reward is.
83
Clover: This Clover is a new Scout, and the daughter of the for-
mer Clover. Ivy is her stepmother and although she loves her dear-
ly, Clover feels the need to strike out on her own and prove herself
as a Scout. She is best friends with Raven and Dove. They have
made a pact to always look out for each other.
Tulip: Tulip is a Psychic Elf from the Strange Lands who is mated
to Hummingbird. They go nowhere without one another. They can
read each other's minds and are bonded for life. If one dies, so too
does the other. Tulip is quiet and does not speak unless something
needs to be said. She keeps her judgements to herself but deep
down she has a snarky inner voice.
Daisy: Daisy is a Blade, and known as the Lady in White by those
she has rescued from bloodthirsty raiders, feral mutants, and
greedy bandits. Daisy is not one for idle chatter and gets the job
done no matter the cost. Scouting is her life, her only passion. She
has no other hobbies or loves. Her one true friend is her mentor,
Swan. She does not trust Crow even though he is a fellow Blade.
Nightshade: Nightshade is a Survivor and the sister of Raven and
Crow. She worries about her brothers for two very different rea-
sons. She worries about Raven’s fragile nature, and about Crow’s
violent one. She is the level-headed one of the three. She is a prag-
matic problem-solver who always tries to do the right thing if it's
possible. She is considered a great beauty with her black hair and
blue eyes.
Lily: Lily is a Medic who is professionally trained by Lotus. For a
time she wanted to be a Lotus scientist instead of a doctor, but sur-
prised even herself when she volunteered to be dipped in the mias-
ma and emerged as Chosen. She still retains her book smarts even
though her sheltered life hasn't really prepared her for the waste-
land of the Spire.
84
Petunia: Petunia is a Mutant raised by feral mutants in North
Spire. From the time she was a little girl she would raid farms
and caravans with her parents. A scientist from Lotus watched
her perform a Miracle one day and took her away from her hun-
gry, desperate life and did his best to “civilize” her in Crystal
Heights. This mostly worked but every now and then a savage
side of Petunia rears its ugly head.
Jasmine: Jasmine is a self-taught Gunner and the daughter of
farmers who were killed by raiders. She became a Scout to ac-
quire the skills to avenge her family. And she did. Now she trav-
els the lands of the Spire protecting the smallfolk. She has a dis-
taste for the wealthy and the powerful.
Lavender: Lavender is a Red Rivers Native with a wolf com-
panion named Howler. She grew up in Red Rivers and has a
great deal of respect for the land, its people, and its customs.
Even as a Scout she is slow to embrace technology and would
rather walk than trust riding on a motorcycle or in an airship.
Wherever she goes, Howler goes.
Marigold: Marigold is an Android from the Great War, though
not quite as old as Swan. Marigold appreciates life greatly and
enjoys the little things, like the taste of food or the smell of gaso-
line. They take great care in keeping their friends safe. They
know that being human, the others aren't as tough as them. They
also enjoy small animals and cute babies.
Phoenix: Phoenix is a Red Rivers Native with a pet dog named
Sparky who follows him around. He would die for Sparky, and
Sparky would die for him. Unlike most other Red Rivers Na-
tives, Phoenix drives a motorcycle. This motorcycle has a little
sidecar for Sparky. Phoenix is a little goofy and somewhat under
-prepared for the amount of trauma that the wasteland has wait-
ing for him and Sparky. He is determined to take down Noah,
who was his mentor.
85
Hawk: Hawk is a Mutant, and anyone with eyes can see that.
That's why he wears a mask and trench coat all the time. He is
slightly ashamed of his appearance but fiercely proud of his abili-
ties and his role as a Scout. He is older than one would guess and
has been Scouting for over twenty-five years. He travels a lot with
Violet and is one of the few people who can withstand her fierce
temper.
Eagle: Eagle is a Gunner who was actually born in Red Rivers
but left as a young man because he believes that the future will be
better with technology. Eagle is a dependable Scout who never
complains about the task at hand. He is a skilled gunslinger who
has sworn several times that he will never return to Red Rivers
where he now faces rejection from his former friends and family,
and yet he often finds himself pulled right back into the troubles
plaguing Red Rivers.
Hummingbird: Hummingbird is a Psychic Elf from the Strange
Lands who is bonded for life to Tulip. He adores her and would
do anything for her. He does not show this romantic side in the
presence of others and rarely speaks unless spoken to. He and Tu-
lip can read each other's minds and hold entire wordless conversa-
tions in that way.
Raven: Raven is a Medic and the newest Scout and a reluctant
one at that. His brother is Crow and his sister is Nightshade.
Raven’s best friends are Clover and Dove. He seeks to protect his
friends and family but the truth is he is more than a little fright-
ened about what the wasteland might have in store for them. He is
a quiet, thoughtful young man who can sense distress. He always
does his best to help.
86
Crow: Crow is a Blade and an almost-madman who is slowly
succumbing to miasma sickness, a condition that affects some
Chosen by deteriorating their sanity. Crow is unpredictable and
hard to work with. He is sarcastic to hide the fact he is losing
control. He laughs wildly at random times. His brother is Raven
and his sister is Nightshade. His father was the former Crow and
his mother was the former Violet, which might explain his un-
healthy obsession with the current Violet.
Swan: Swan is an Android and the oldest of all the Scouts. They
still have memories of the Great War. These memories haunt their
dreams at night. They have promised themselves that they will
die before they lose any more friends and will put themselves in
harm’s way to protect those they care about.
Dove: Dove is a Child of the Brier, though he was not raised in
the Brier. Rather, he was raised by Lotus and trained from child-
hood to become a Scout by Swan, who he considers his “true”
parent. Dove’s best friends are fellow Brier Child Clover and Ra-
ven. Dove has a good, kind heart and loves the feeling he gets
from helping those in need. Make no mistake, though: He will
get his hands bloody if he has to.
Canary: One of the newest Scouts after Noah killed the last Ca-
nary breaking into Lotus’s lab, this Canary won't die so easily.
Because he has a secret: He's actually a robot invented by Lotus
as a new kind of Scout. This is a secret even Canary doesn't com-
pletely understand about himself. He knows he's different, but
not why. His programming is stuck in his subconscious, just
where Lotus wants it to be…for now. Canary is a reliable Survi-
vor and he can easily learn new skills of survival just by experi-
ence.
87
Rooster: When the former Rooster died on a mission with Crow,
this new Rooster, a Nymph from the Brier, took his place. His
brother was the former Rooster, and this Rooster suspects some-
thing is strange about Crow and became a Scout to investigate
the circumstances of his forebear's untimely death. Rooster is
loud and boisterous, but keeps his intentions close to the vest.
Owl: Owl is a Cyborg who grew up in a raider camp as a slave.
He was thrown in a pool of miasma as a young boy and not ex-
pected to survive, but survive he did. He crawled out of that pit
and unleashed a huge Miracle upon the raider camp, destroying it
and freeing the other slaves. Word got around and Owl is now the
hero other slaves captured by raiders pray for, and the man that
raiders have nightmares about.
Robin: Robin is a Bard whose parents had big dreams for him as
a performer, before he fell in a pool of miasma as a teenager and
mutated. Though he is still handsome on the outside, he feels
twisted on the inside. His dreams of stardom are dashed as he is
relegated to a life of danger in the wasteland. He still enjoys sing-
ing and performing whenever he gets the chance, and he still
talks and walks with a flourish, but deep down, as the deaths he's
caused keep piling up, he wonders if when he fell into that mias-
ma he didn't crawl back out as a monster.
Noah: Noah is the former Phoenix and a traitor to Lotus. He has
stolen the airship, The Chariot, as well as a few other of Lotus’s
important experiments. He is to be captured or killed at any cost.
No one knows his motives or where he's gone with the experi-
ments and the airship.
